Download the official New National Lottery App where you can dare to dream!

With our new mobile App, we want to make playing your favourite National Lottery games easier, more secure and fun. There are a number of new features and improvements included in our new App some of which are detailed below.

Our most exciting new feature is the ‘Shake, Pick, Play’ functionality. Simply choose your draw-based game you want to play (Lotto, EuroMillions or Daily Million); give your phone a shake and your numbers will be randomly selected and appear on screen. You can then choose to play those randomly generated numbers, edit or swap a number you don’t like or shake again for a whole new line. 

If you want to buy tickets for multiple draw games, the new Single Basket feature gives you a quick hassle-free checkout experience. It keeps selections in one place until completed and allows you to pay for them all together in a single transaction.

The Ticket Scanner allows you to check any of your tickets purchased in a retail store and you can find out quickly if you are a winner. 

You can also check results of other draw games, save your favourite lottery numbers and manage all your past tickets in one place by selecting Tickets on the navigation bar.

To make it simpler and easier for you to login, we have enabled features such as Face ID for iOS & biometrics for Android.

The National Lottery is dedicated to Responsible Play and is committed to providing a safe and responsible environment within which to play our games. As part of this commitment, we have introduced new Responsible Play features such as ID Verification to our App, which is just one of many ways we help encourage Responsible Play and ensure you are 18+.

The National Lottery is committed to ensuring that Responsible Play and Player Protection are central to all our activities including the design of our new mobile App. We have added new features such as ID Verification to our App, which is just one of many ways we help encourage Responsible Play and ensure all our players are over 18. 

Other exciting Responsible Play features include easily accessible information and controls, such as the ability to Set your Spend Limits, Lock Games and Take a Break which are all designed to ensure you enjoy our games safely and responsibly.

At the National Lottery, we are committed to empowering you with the tools that are needed to protect yourself and ensure you are playing within your means.

We offer a wide range of up to date responsible play information, resources and personalised controls. We also have a dedicated Responsible Play team who monitors for any early signs of potential problem play and will engage with these players as appropriate

You may receive on screen messaging with helpful information on normal patterns of play, time logged-in and how to play responsibly. For more information on how the National Lottery can help you to play responsibly please visit our Responsible Play page or if you need to talk to someone about problem play visit www.responsibleplay.ie.

At the National Lottery, we recognise that the internet is readily available in many homes and because of this, we must work together with parents to prevent children from underage gaming. Our new Age verification feature makes it safe, simple and easy to age verify. We encourage all players to ID verify using their passport or drivers’ licence.

Steps to Age Verify in App

1. You can verify your identity at registration or in 'My Account' if you are already registered. 
2. To verify your ID and ensure you're over 18, just take a picture of your passport or driver's licence using the App.
3. When prompted hold your phone over the document so that all 4 corners are visible, there is no blur and all writing is legible.
4. Once the document has been scanned, we'll need you to take a selfie to verify your likeness against your ID document.
5. Look straight at the camera and follow the instructions that are presented to you on screen. 
6. Once this is completed the software will authenticate your ID and compare your likeness, which will take a few seconds. You will then get a notification whether your verification process has passed, failed or been referred. 
7. If your identity has been referred, one of our customer support team will review your submission. Once completed, we'll send you an email with the outcome of the review. 
8. Please note once your ID has been reviewed, all your scanned images are retained for a period of 31 days for auditing purposes and will then be deleted.
